About Frank Ray:

Texas chart-topper, bilingual recording artist and former police officer - Frank Ray is busting open doors in the country genre, adding his signature Latin flavor to the scene. Growing up just three miles from the border in New Mexico, Frank, born Francisco Gomez, was immersed in the best of both worlds - enriched by his Mexican culture and surrounded by Texas Country music. Praised as “easygoing contemporary Country with Pop-Soul hooks and a dash of Southwestern spice” (Rolling Stone), Frank’s “catalog is representative of his fun personality and flair” (Country Now), expertly blending ‘90s Texas Country, Latin, R&B and Pop. As an entertainer, Frank delivers electrifying, high-energy performances that have something for everyone. With immense cross-cultural appeal and a panorama of influences, “One of the most influential Latinos'' (Time Magazine), Ray “is looking to stretch Country music’s cultural boundaries” (Los Angeles Times).  

In the three short years since embarking on his musical journey full-time, he has racked up two No. 1 singles and three Top 10 singles on Texas Country Radio, become a staff songwriter, signed a record deal with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville and much more. Along with being named an “Artist to Watch” by Rolling Stone and Amazon Music USA as well as a “Listen Up Artist” by CMT, Ray has appeared on USA Network’s Real Country, been profiled in the Los Angeles Times and on NBC's TODAY

Named to the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) New Faces Class of 2023, Ray has shared stages with Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Brett Eldredge, Luke Bryan, Kip Moore, LANCO, Hunter Hayes and more. Recently on tour with Old Dominion and performing at major music festivals across the U.S, Frank visits first responders through his mental-health initiative FRAY (First Responders Mental Clarity), at each tour stop providing first responders with the tools, resources and training to promote their mental wellbeing, as well as that of their families and communities.

The latest from Frank Ray is the intoxicating “Uh-huh (Ajá)” that will have you so infatuated with your partner that you’ll join as he dances between English & Spanish lyrics in this smash penned by Shay Mooney (Dan+Shay) & Pedro Capó (2 billion+ streaming artist). Produced by GRAMMY® nominated Dave Pittenger, Ray’s heritage shines, reminding listeners why Good Morning America lauded him among “Latino country artists that are expanding the genre while honoring their roots.”

NYC's Crash Harmony unveils 'Velour Goddess', breaking 30+ year hiatus with debut album (via Magic Door Records)

"A blast of youthful exuberance, raw energy, and unbridled optimism... both nostalgic and fresh. There’s the Replacements’ raw, garage-rock spirit, the Northern Pikes’ innocence and purity, and hooks like a cross between Husker Du and The Go-Betweens, blended into a harmonious concoction that is undeniably their own" ~ The Spill Magazine 


NYC indie rock outfit Crash Harmony presents 'Velour Goddess', the first taste of their debut record 'No One Asked For This', to be released via Magic Door Record Label. Returning after a 30+ year hiatus, the quartet are back with a full-length album of 10 songs, for which they worked with celebrated producer Ray Ketchem (Guided by Voices, Elk City, Gramercy Arms, Luna) at Magic Door Recording in Montclair, NJ.  

Crash Harmony is made up of Dave Derby (vocals, guitars), Mike Potenza (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Jon Nighswander (bass, vocals), and Nils Nadeau (drums, percussion, vocals). Formed in 1986 at Yale University in New Haven, CT, the band played its last gig in May 1988 and hadn’t played together again until beginning to record this album in 2022.  

If you were fortunate enough to ever be part of a vibrant music scene, then you know how intoxicating, how important, how finally cool you felt to live on this newly discovered planet. It was pulsing with energy and possibility, teeming with talent and artists and then, the jaw drop of realizing your planet was actually part of an entire galaxy of scenes vibrating around the country. A truth revealed that rock legends were not just the leather-pantsed strutters on the national stage but dishwashing oddballs strumming in your neighbor's backyard - heroes you could actually meet, try to impress, emulate and maybe one day open for, if dreams could come true. And, for Crash Harmony, they did for a while.

Yale rock - an oxymoron too good to be dismissed, meeting as undergraduates swept up in the current of something more exciting than college – a New Haven music scene that was real. While college was for figuring out what you wanted to be, college rock was for figuring out what you wanted to sound like. Crash Harmony was absorbing everything, and trying it all on for size at house parties, frat houses, and clubs throughout New England.

Nevermind, doesn’t matter, band over. Life happens. Real jobs, other bands. Dave went on to The Dambuilders (and then Gramercy Arms), Mike served on The Anderson Council, Jon left for Europe, and Nils wandered north. But no matter where they went, Crash Harmony still kind of mattered. Eventually, they had to come back. They had to return to that place so, decades later, Crash Harmony reformed to make a new record of old songs - a rock-and-roll reenactment of the New Haven scene that changed them forever.

Like their name, the record is an orchestrated pileup of long-ago influences that collided in the chambers of their broken young hearts and have again wriggled free from their throats and amps, pop gems humming like cicadas and dancing for the pure joy of being alive again.

"Dave and I initially bonded over anglophilia, including a shared love of The Jam, cockney slang and alcohol. I came out of the New Hampshire punk scene and was a founding member of Five Balls of Power (other members went on to join such bands as Dropkick Murphys, Scissorfight and the Radicts). Dave and Nils both were willing to play around with different styles and a level of musicianship that was a notch above the average college band," says Jon Nighswander.

Dave Derby adds, "Nils and I had been in a successful indie pop band. I wanted to create something that was both heavier and more psychedelic in that 80s college radio Paisley Underground sort of way, but then we recalibrated towards more of a 70s vibe. We tried really early on to align ourselves with the New Haven scene and not just the Yale one."

For Crash Harmony, it’s all so clear now – how lucky they were to have been part of a scene and to have met and grown up in ideal conditions to make music that would somehow find a way to live forever... Everybody, kiss your ghost.

'Velour Goddess' is available everywhere digitally, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where the 'No One Asked for This' album is also available for pre-order. Out October 18, it will be released both digitally and on vinyl via the Magic Door Record Label.

Pop Evil Announce Fall 2024 Headline Tour Plans

Modern rock powerhouse POP EVIL recently returned with the utterly scorching new single "What Remains." It serves as the dawn of a new era for Pop Evil, which the band promises will be its most sonically heavy. The song was No. 1 Most Added with 55 stations and just debuted at 33 on the active rock radio charts, and is climbing. 

Watch the lyric video for the song, which was produced by Wage War's Cody Quistad, below

Today, the band announces its Fall 2024 tour plans. The band will embark on "The Animal Instinct Tour," which is a co-headline run with Bad Wolves. Sierra Pilot and Oni will serve as support. The trek kicks off October 30 in Jacksonville, North Carolina and runs through November 30 in Lexington, Kentucky.

Additional Pop Evil shows are also on deck. All tour dates are below. Get tickets here

"We are stoked to announce 'The Animal Instinct Tour' with our friends in Bad Wolves," says Pop Evil singer Leigh Kakaty. "This tour will be full of high energy and radio hits from start to finish. We can't wait to see you all out there!"

"It's difficult to express how excited I am to get back on the road again with the boys," says Bad Wolves guitarist Doc Coyle. "Co-headlining with a powerhouse like Pop Evil will be a real treat for fans of both bands and will keep us on our toes to bring our A-game every night. It's a true honor to share the stage with them, Sierra Pilot, and ONI. Bad Wolves will be performing an eclectic set including songs from Die About It that we haven't played yet, and I'm sure some surprises. The band is firing on all cylinders right now, and this will be a hell of a way to close out 2024. LFG, Wolfpack!!!"

About the new single, Kakaty stated, "Over the years, I've been faced with torment; departures, failures, and uphill climbs. It takes a reckoning to strip us to our core and confront our true selves. What endures beyond these trials is who you are, your essence. That is what remains. On our upcoming album, we have dared ourselves to make the most lyrically raw and sonically heavy album of our career. 'What Remains' sets the tone of what is to come."

Kakaty also confirmed the new lineup, saying, "We are also proud to officially announce the newest member of the Pop Evil lineup — Blake Allison." Allison is replacing departed member Hayley Cramer on drums, joining Kakaty and fellow bandmates, guitarists Dave Grahs and Nick Fuelling, and bassist Joey "Chicago" Walser.

Iodine Recordings to Release 20th Anniversary Edition of Audio Karate's "Lady Melody"

Iodine Recordings is proud to present the 20th anniversary edition of AUDIO KARATE's landmark LADY MELODY on limited colored vinyl.

This deluxe edition of the classic California punk record has been completely remastered for vinyl by Jason Livermore at Blasting Room Studios and includes all new artwork and a retrospective by the band and Bill Stevenson (Descendents, ALL).

Get it here.

Listen to "Jesus Is Alive and Well (And Living in Mexico)" Below.

In 2001, four Mexican American kids from the suburbs of East L.A. came together to form Audio Karate, their unique mix of melodic, emotional punk rock made it difficult to place them in any one genre but it also garnered a legion of fans. Their knack for writing infectiously catchy songs with deeply personal lyrics caught the attention of Kung Fu Records, who signed them in 2001 alongside bands like Blink-182 and Tsunami Bomb.

Audio Karate spent the early 2000s touring heavily and sharing stages with bands like NOFX, The Ataris, and Face to Face, among many Vans Warped Tour appearances. Their first studio album Space Camp was met with much acclaim from critics and fans and featured frequently on MTV and Fuse TV. 

Their follow up album Lady Melody was produced by Bill Stevenson of The Descendents and straddled pop-punk convention and technical oddity, with unique key changes and riffs that seemed to sound "wrong," while sounding gloriously right. Even Stevenson wondered how they did it, marveling at times during their recording sessions: "Technically, this shouldn't work."

Stevenson says, "Lady Melody will always mark a special point in time for me. We had so much fun together during the pre-production, and then during the recording! I love this band so much, and it has been such a great pleasure getting to know each of them. 'Jesus Is Alive and Well (And Living in Mexico)' is one of my favorite songs to have ever produced."

ANDRE COMEAU Releases New Single “Love Like Poison”

Rock singer-songwriter Andre Comeau has officially released his latest single, "Love Like Poison," to all major streaming platforms. This powerful track is taken from his new album, Portrait, which dropped on August 2, 2024.

"Love Like Poison" showcases Comeau's signature blend of gritty vocals, emotive lyrics, and dynamic rock instrumentation. The single is already gaining traction on Sirius XM, with fans and critics alike praising it.

STREAM "Love Like Poison" Below.

From Rocker to Singer Songwriter, to reluctant reality TV star, Andre Comeau has done it all. Born in 70’s-era Detroit, Andre grew up steeped in all genres of music. Possessed with an instinctual sense of melody and dynamics, Andre has music in his blood.

His first band, Reigndance, which also featured Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age, The Dead Weather) helped ignite, but quickly outgrew the burgeoning Detroit music scene of the early 90’s. Shortly after relocating to New York, Andre was chosen to be a cast member of the inaugural season of MTV’s seminal reality show, The Real World. The show was an instant success, and Andre, the show’s “Rocker”, and Reigndance were afforded massive exposure. After three records and extensive touring, the band found themselves at a creative crossroads. They disbanded in 1997.

Says Comeau, “I’m very proud of everything we did in Reigndance. But The Real World, and what it ultimately became, was something I disconnected with. As our world has evolved into a reality based, unscripted place for instant-gratification it’s now easier to stand back and see it's impact. There were times it felt like a counteractive force, but in hindsight, it was incredible to be a part of something that transformed our culture and my life, both good and bad.”

Comeau relocated to Los Angeles in search of fresh stimuli and new musical landscapes. The 2000s found Andre returning to the folk music of his youth with River Rouge. The band released a handful of well received albums and became a highlight of the Los Angeles club scene, but disbanded in 2016.

In 2019, Comeau triumphantly returned to his hard rock roots with two EPs Wrong Within (2020), & Clean Break (2021), both are straight-no-chaser collections of ballsy Rock songs.

Now in 2024 with a new and more introspective LP, Portrait (2024) Andre Comeaufronts a power trio with veteran musicians Darren Elpant on drums and Gary Wicks on bass, where he manages to successfully marry his folk, rock, and blues influences and infuses them to create something familiar, yet new and unique. Toeing the line between classic and cutting edge, Comeau proves that guitar-rock can still be vital, original, and relevant. Hard, sexy and thought-provoking---Andre Comeau’s music seizes the listener above and below the belt.

OCEANS OF SLUMBER Reimagine "The Given Dream"

The dark cinematic metal band's new single defies any and all conventions

"One of modern metal's brightest hopes" - Metal Hammer

"A band that nails a unique balance and has the potential to do whatever they want" - Angry Metal Guy (4/5) 

"Masterful compositions that reveal more secrets with each listen" - Metal Injection (9/10)

"Dark, turbulent, and above all, incredibly emotional" - New Noise (4/5)

"They are the new Southern gothic, and you need to pay attention" - Distorted Sound (9/10)

"This band is truly something special" - Ghost Cult (8/10)

Though revered by critics and peers, Oceans of Slumber bow to no one. For more than a decade, the Houston band have spurred prevailing trends in both the metal scene and the American South. Instead of adhering to conventional wisdom or slapping a new coat of paint on the same old ideas, they've remade the Southern Gothic in their own progressive image, casting tales of hope and despair against an ever-shifting backdrop of melodic death, doom and black metal.

While they've always been stars in their own right, Oceans of Slumber's upcoming sixth album expands the band's wide-ranging vision to the dark, cinematic heights of a Hollywood blockbuster. Where Gods Fear to Speak is in conversation with The Handmaid's Tale and Cormac McCarthy more than it is Opeth. Their new single "The Given Dream" gives hope to the future of metal by breaking the spell that's lorded over us by the powers that be.   

Listen to "The Given Dream" Below.

Where Gods Fear to Speak comes out September 13 on Season of Mist.

"The Given Dream" awakens with a familiar sense of dread. A dark, ominous synth blares over the speakers with the creeping suspense of an IMAX movie.

To celebrate the release of Where Gods Fear to Speak, Oceans of Slumber are saddling up with their fellow Houston heavies in Necrofier for a fiery performance at Metal Injection Festival.  

"We are thrilled to celebrate Metal Injection's 20th anniversary at this year's festival", says Cammie. "We'll be sharing the stage with amazing bands like Jinjer, Converge, God Forbid, 3 Inches of Blood, Hanabie, Cave In, Rivers of Nihil and our good friends in Necrofier. We can't wait to rock out with you and hit the streets of New York City". 

Metal Injection Festival
Sunday, September 22 - Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Monarch & Meadows [TICKETS]

“We just hope to grow the band. We’ve had a problem with reaching the next level, but I’m hoping this record makes the difference, and people just give us a shot,” Dobber concludes. “The band is great and it’s tight, and Cammie is such a great performer. When people really get to see the real thing in front of them, which they don’t a lot of the time, it just works, intrinsically. There’s just a natural response to it. So if we can get in front of the audiences we should, then we’ll win them over and the band will grow. That’s all we want. It's a mechanism for survival at this point.”

Her career soared when her cover of “Dreams” garnered over 54 million views, leading to collaborations with renowned artists like David Guetta and MORTEN. The proof that Lanie can hold her own among Nashville’s most prominent is evident as her song “Chasing the Wind” was recently featured on the soundtrack for the film Twisters, alongside Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll and more.Further solidifying her presence in the industry, she recently signed a recording contract with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, a publishing deal with Big Machine Music and has been named CMT’s Next Up Now Artist.

'NASHVILLE Reunion Tour' Returns to Atlanta & Nashville this Fall

After a sold-out 2023 tour, stars of the iconic hit television series “NASHVILLE” are returning with shows in Atlanta and in Nashville. NASHVILLE Reunion Tour will play Atlanta’s Coca-Cola Roxy on November 22 and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on November 23.
 
The NASHVILLE Reunion Tour will feature stars Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson and Sam Palladio, who will take the stage to perform classic songs from the series as well as their own original material. 
 
“It’s rare that an actor gets to play a dream role like Scarlett for so long,” said Bowen. “Even rarer to have ‘NASHVILLE’S’ beautiful catalogue of music that we get to continue celebrating with audiences around the world. The live shows are an evolution of the series. We meet so many new fans of the tv show on the road, and they’re out there singing right along with those who’ve been with us from the start, and it’s such an honor for us. We have the best fans in the world.”
 
Esten added, “It’s difficult to describe the depth of feeling I have for the show ‘NASHVILLE,’ the character Deacon, and the amazing people that I got to work with those beautiful six years. That I get to join with some of them, sing these songs, and bring them to the people who made it all possible - the fans of ‘NASHVILLE’ - is a blessing I will never take for granted. I can’t wait to do it again!”
 
With the success of last year’s tour, cast member Jackson said, “I am so excited that the musical journey with the ‘NASHVILLE’ cast is still unfolding. We’ve been digging into the ‘NASHVILLE’ catalogue and uncovering some tunes we’ve never performed live together. I’m immensely grateful to be able to go on the road and perform these songs with my cast mates, our incredible band, and experience it all together with our amazingly dedicated fans.” 
 
Palladio added to those comments saying, “It never ceases to amaze me the dedication and love of the ‘NASHVILLE’ fans. It’s a testament to the music that we still get to perform these songs and feel the love of the crowd after all this time. With the upcoming release of my debut album, it feels like the journey of ‘NASHVILLE’ has brought me full circle and I’m excited to be sharing my new chapter of music.”
 
“NASHVILLE” became a TV phenomenon when it first debuted in 2012. Set against the backdrop of Nashville’s music scene, the show followed the lives of Clare Bowen as Scarlett O'Connor, Chris Carmack as Will Lexington, Charles Esten as Deacon Claybourne, Jonathan Jackson as Avery Barkley, and Sam Palladio as Gunnar Scott as country music superstars, up-and-coming performers and songwriters trying to get ahead in the business. 
 
The show’s popularity grew, instantly reaching over 225 territories worldwide before its final season in 2018. Since its debut, the show has inspired 22 soundtracks, including a Christmas album, which collectively sold millions of album units and single-track downloads around the world. “NASHVILLE” was also critically lauded with multiple Emmy®, Golden Globe® and Critics Choice award nominations. 
 
The incredible cast embodies Music City's creative spirit and will once again take the stage together to celebrate the magic of “NASHVILLE.”

Kenny Chesney Hits New Record @ MetLife; 2+Hours, No Shoes Nation + Lots of Love

Never mind the rain. Kenny Chesney came to MetLife to play, and play hard. The home of the NY Giants and Jets was packed to a level that blew out Chesney’s previous best of 59,999 in 2022 by over a thousand tickets. But even more than the numbers, it was the heart, the hoist and the heft of No Shoes Nation who cranked into a raving a cappella chorus of “American Kids,” swayed side-to-side and raised their lights into the sky to tour rarity “Knowing You” and got swept up in a particularly sultry “Somewhere With You.”
 
“We could tell even before we walked out onstage, MetLife was ready for this show,” Chesney raved after the show. “No Shoes Nation always shows up hard when we play New York, but this crowd, even before they could see us, they made sure we felt all that passion. It was incredible – and then when we walked out, it didn’t let up, not even in the ballads.”
 
For Chesney, making his eighth appearance at MetLife, it’s been a summer of breaking personal records across the country. Whether selling SRO tickets in Tampa, moving the stage all the way back in several cities, or figuring out how to create less obstructed views, the songwriter-superstar from East Tennessee has been committed to having No Shoes Nation in the house.
 
“I never take the faces, or the songs for granted,” the man the Wall Street Journal called “The King of the Road” explained. “For lots of people these songs are their life, and I want to give that every bit of who I am. It’s an honor to mark someone’s moments and memories; you can tell by the way they sing, how intensely they feel what you’re doing.”
 
It was also a celebration of the spirit of friendship. Beyond revisiting his 6-week No. 1 “When The Sun Goes Down” with Uncle Kracker, as well as sharing Kracker’s redux of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away,” he had Megan Moroney bounce onstage for a spirited “All The Pretty Girls” and a funky, extended “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.” But it was during the encore of “Don’t Happen Twice,” that one of the two little girls who came onstage to receive a football helmet reached onto her wrist – and handed the 8-time Entertainer of the Year her bracelet.
 
“There’s no amount of money that’s more precious than that,” he said of the gesture. “You could feel all that love. It was all that love that had pouring over us all night long. To be on that stage, singing these songs for No Shoes Nation in a place like MetLife? What could be more perfect?”
 
Whether the life-affirming “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright,” the surging lookback of “Young” and “I Go Back’ or the wistful encore “Anything But Mine,” No Shoes Nation was in the zone – moving in stereo with the sweat-soaked musician who never stopped. With over 200 stadium shows to date, he’s not only growing No Shoes Nation, he’s the only country artist in the MetLife/Meadowlands Top 10, as well as being the #2 ticket-seller at MetLife.
 
Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour, including next weekend’s unprecedented three nights at Gillette Stadium is presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum. Celebrating new friends and old, memories in the making and songs that have defined coming of age across the heartland this century, it’s been one crazy, awesome summer.
 

“...because everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...”

Corey Kent Teams with Lauren Alaina for Latest Release "Now or Never"

Sony Music Nashville artist Corey Kent has spent more than 15 years cutting his own path through a tangled wilderness of stumbles and setbacks … and never once come close to waving a white flag. The result…he is about to release his sophomore album, Black Bandana, Sept. 6, 2024 and will kick off his headlining Black Bandana Tour on Sept. 21. The platinum-selling Kent has given fans another taste of the upcoming  project today with the release of “Now or Never” featuring Lauren Alaina. Listen to “ Now or Never” Below and pre-save Black Bandana HERE
 
"'Now or Never' is a song about drawing a line in the sand for yourself,” shared Kent. “It’s about loving somebody but refusing to let them continue to hurt you by taking a stand and asking your partner to make up their mind... 'You either love me or you don’t.’"
 
“I am so excited to be a part of this song with Corey,” said Alaina. “I think the message is super powerful. It’s okay to love someone and take a stand for yourself when needed. I am honored Corey asked me to be a part of it. I can’t wait to see where the song takes us.” 
 
Written by Sam Ellis, Ryan Hurd and Geoff Warburton and produced by Chris Farren, “Now or Never” finds Kent channeling the ’80s-rock anthems that helped give his childhood a soundtrack turning it into an orchestral-rock power ballad... and a duet of epic emotional proportions. Featuring the crystalline vocal counterpoint of Lauren Alaina, a pair of lovers resolve to give their volatile connection a final ultimatum –make it work now, or break it off entirely.

A Bixby, Oklahoma native now based in Dallas, the proud husband and father has become a decorated artist on the rise, growing from humble heartland roots into a Platinum certified Number One hit maker with 940 million career streams, and a black bandana on his neck. But today, that Black Bandana is more than an accessory – and not just the name of his sophomore major-label album. It’s his rally cry.
 
“It started from riding motorcycles and wanting something over your face so you didn’t swallow a bug,” the singer-songwriter says. “But then it turned into a staple I wear on stage, and then a symbol of the path through my career, and life. Through all the ups and downs, the one constant thing was this relentless hope – this relentless pursuit of believing that if I don’t give up, I can get where I’m going.”
 
With a self-built story that has seen success and disaster, keeping that belief wasn’t always easy – but it’s been paying off. Rising from the vibrant Red Dirt country scene as the embodiment of authenticity, Kent set his sights on Nashville as a teen, bringing his self-penned catalog of country-rock anthems with him. But after the pandemic coincided with the loss of his first publishing deal, Kent was forced to move to Texas and get a job on a paving crew to pay the bills, yet he stubbornly refused to call music quits. Honky-tonks and dancehalls on both sides of the Red River became his stomping ground, and slowly but surely, the black bandana spirit grew.
 
Fast forward a few years and the hit single “Wild As Her” proved he was right all along. An untamed tribute to a free-spirited stunner, the track re-invigorated Kent’s career as a Platinum-certified No. 1 at country radio, and the lead single off his major label album debut, Blacktop. And while momentum kept building, with Kent hitting the road alongside Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum and more, the mainstream moved to claim they knew it all along. Next-big-thing accolades came in from CMT, Opry Next Stage and more, but even as Kent became the most played new artist on country radio for all of 2023, he kept the underdog, who-cares-about-conventional-wisdom mentality. And so did his fans.
 
For Kent, the point was that his fans have the same independent spirit he does, and he took that lesson into his next chapter. Settled into his ranch in Texas and intent on being fully present as husband and father, while also achieving his dreams, his second album is all about finding balance, keeping clear eyes on what’s important – and waving that Black Bandana for all to see.
  
Co-writing six of Black Bandana’s 10 songs, what Kent ultimately wanted was to mix themes of integrity, resilience and family with a sonic setting befitting the mission. Finding the midway point between cinematic electric guitars and heart-pounding drums meet a warm, gravel-road rasp, as Kent brings classic rock into the present tense. 
  
“We all face our own demons. We all face our own setbacks, and I hope this record serves as encouragement,” he says. “It would be really easy to lean on the past and go ‘Look at what I’ve done,’ but I’m still excited about the records I’ve yet to create. I’m excited about the shows I haven’t played yet. I’m excited about unlocking new levels of my craft, and writing more songs that people connect with deeply. …I still live for those moments.”

Kent is also connecting with friends on the road in his new podcast “Bus Call.” The podcast finds Kent chatting with everyone from country music star Bailey Zimmerman to 2023 Doak Walker Award winner, OSU Running Back Ollie Gordon. The Texas Troubadour and his guests share laughs, inspirational moments and talk through the ups and downs of both business and personal lifeListen to the first two episodes of season one now and stay tuned for a new episode each month. 
 
The Oklahoma native will be joined by Braxton Keith, Kaitlin Butts, Max McNown, Karley Scott Collins and Lauren Watkins on select dates for his headlining, international Black Bandana Tour, which kick-offs in Paso Robles California on Sept. 21. The road warrior will trek across both the U.S. and U.K. with stops in New York, Boston, Atlanta, Dublin, London and more into early 2025. Tickets are on sale now.

Brantley Gilbert Releases "Dirty Money" ft. Justin Moore from Highly Anticipated 'Tattoos'

ith his seventh studio album arriving on September 13 via The Valory Music Co., multi-Platinum country rocker Brantley Gilbert releases the final preview of Tattoos with “Dirty Money” featuring Justin Moore, an industrial-strength anthem and a true blue-collar banger in tribute to the clean conscious that comes from a lifetime of sweat equity. Listen to “Dirty Money” below and pre-save/pre-order Tattoos HERE.
 
Written by Gilbert with Josh Phillips, “Dirty Money” opens the project with a thunderclap of self-sufficient pride and wastes no time bringing the Georgia native’s world into focus, breaking through a peaceful calm with pounding drums, mile-deep distortion and Gilbert’s smoke-and-soul vocal:

Working with primary co-producer Brock Berryhill, Tattoos matches Gilbert’s ink in both striking design and depth of meaning. Through flowing curves and jagged lines, shadow and light look back on a life of blue-collar pride and full-throttle rebellion – along with addictive love, abiding faith and blessings beyond what any of us deserve.
 
The result is an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, as Gilbert delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. But this time, he was careful to put an emphasis on his early days, both in sound and substance. Focusing on real instruments over synthetic effects, molten hot power chords and solos which rip the fabric of space and time pair with thundering drums and Gilbert’s diesel-powered vocal, more dynamic here than it has been in years – and put to use in a variety of big-picture, small-town settings.
 
In celebration of his new album Tattoos, Gilbert will headline Brantley Gilbert’s World’s Largest Album Release Party on Broadway in downtown Nashville on Friday, September 13. The free multi-artist concert is part of FREEDOM FRIDAY events kicking off the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix weekend (September 13-15). Presented by 1st Phorm Energy, with additional partnership from Rousch, Polaris, and Modern Buggy, the 4th annual FREEDOM FRIDAY concert honors members of the Military, Police, Fire, First Responders and Frontline Heroes. The 160th Special Ops Aviation Regiment will perform a helicopter aerial demonstration and a pre-concert flyover by the 101st Airborne Division.
 
“Dirty Money” featuring Justin Moore follows the release of “Me And My House” featuring Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones, a hand-over-heart declaration of purpose and a defiant tip of the hat to the independent country rap world Gilbert has always admired, as each collaborator wrote and performed their own verses. Watch the official music video HERE.
 
As lead single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke climbs the charts at country radio after being most added upon its debut, Gilbert’s headlining Off The Rails Tour continues August 30 in Kettering, Ohio, with stops in Duluth, Minn., Council Bluffs, Iowa and Goddard, Kan. through the fall.

About Brantley Gilbert
As one of the godfathers of country’s modern rock-and-rap edge, multi-Platinum The Valory Music Co. trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. With his seventh studio album, Tattoos, set for release September 13, the Georgia native chooses to embrace it – inspired by the idea that his tattoos tell a story, just like his songs. And just like his songs, he’ll never hide the truth they reveal. An era-defining artist forever bonded to his fans, Gilbert’s been mining the timeless values of hard-working dedication, high-octane thrills and humble faith since his 2009 debut, A Modern Day Prodigal Son, creating a chart-topping grit-and-grace fusion which helped set the stage for today’s genre-blending format. With his dedicated BG Nation behind him, the fiery performer-songwriter has racked up more than 8.3 BILLION career streams, boasting back-to-back Platinum albums and seven No. 1 hits including the RIAA 7x Platinum “Bottoms Up;” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen;” and the Platinum-certified “What Happens In A Small Town” with Lindsay Ell. His world-class pen helped create a watershed hit with Jason Aldean’s 4x Platinum country-rap game changer, “Dirt Road Anthem.” And possessing a can’t-fake-it quality of fierce independence, the ACM, CMA and AMA award winner has toured alongside everyone from Willie Nelson and Toby Keith to Kenny Chesney, Nickelback and more. Tattoos further cements his legacy – 10 cowritten, co-produced tracks with an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, as Gilbert’s diesel-powered smoke-and-soul vocal delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. Tracks like full-throttle “Off the Rails” and intoxicating chart-climbing single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke lead a set packed with guest appearances from Gary LeVox, Justin Moore and Off The Rails tour mates Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones, as the superstar headlines across the U.S. through October 2024.

Defiled Beat Bitter Lesson on New Single "Horror Beyond Horror"

The death metal samurai are unsheathing their new album with a Japanese tour and special shows in Thailand with Batushka and Malevolent Creation

"For fans of the classic era of death metal" - Blabbermouth
"Nobody sounds like these guys; they make art out of riffs, snares and death" -
New Noise

"The one-two punch of tight musicianship and an inclination to pummel into submission without the need for flashy antics makes for a dazzling experience" - Ghost Cult

"Straight to the point and relentless"
- Distorted Sound

"Encapsulates both the oldschool familiarity and the modern aesthetics of death metal" - Metal Trenches

Defiled have long since mastered the vile art of old-school death metal. Ever since they first erupted with wrath out of the Tokyo underground at the tail-end of the '90s, Yusuke Sumita and his band of bloodthirsty samurai have left nothing but inevitable ruin in their wake. They've toured with fellow legends like Mayhem, Incantation, Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse, leading crowds from as far away as Milwaukee Metal Festival to lose their sanity.

After their last album, it's understandable if metalheads believed that Defiled had reached the highest level. But now, just one year later, the Japanese legends have topped themselves once again with their upcoming eighth album. Horror Beyond Horror is the kind of good ol' fashioned ass-kicking that only a true master can deliver. As demonstrated by its flying and furious title track, the band's reign of total dominance is endless thanks to their bottomless arsenal of finishing moves. 

Watch the video for "Horror Beyond Horror" Below.

Horror Beyond Horror comes out September 20 on Season of Mist.

After 30 years of slicing and dicing, Defiled know where to stick the blade. The band's new title tracks shreds through the psychological horrors of mind control with riffs that are honed from their sharp influence of '80s thrash and hardcore. "The time has come", frontman Shinichiro Hamada spits at his captors with utter disgust. "Death strikes you with derision".

With three albums now under their belts in the past four years, Defiled certainly don't have the patience to suffer any fools. Halfway through its brutal punishment, "Horror Beyond Horror" is whipped along by a squealing whammy bar and blast beats that are more piercing and precise than a firing squad.

But the band aren't afraid to crack open people's skulls, either. "What sets Defiled's old-school approach apart from the plethora of modern imitators is a refined sense of songcraft", says Lambgoat. It still cuts to the raw truth, but "Horror Beyond Horror" is also thick with stomach-churning tempo twists. Just as they seem to settle into a skull-crushing groove, the band fly off the rails with more fret-ripping madness. And yet - amidst the song's deranged lunacy, Defiled never fail to lure you back into the pit. 

"Waiting for the slaughter"  Hamada growls in hungry anticipation of the raw, chopping breakdown.  

"We are very excited to play songs off Horror Beyond Horror for fans in our home country", says guitarist Yusuke Sumita. "If you're in the area, be sure to join us. See you on the road".

The video for "Horror Beyond Horror" was filmed in March 2024. It was filmed and edited by Seaside 99 Works. Special thanks to Hirohisa Saco at Studio Tranbanero.

ABOUT MOVEMENTS:
It's been a whirlwind few years for Movements as evidenced by the fact that band's 2020 album No Good Left to Give debuted at #3 on the Alternative chart and their streams have doubled since then with 300 million total streams in the U.S. alone. However, despite their success, the Southern Californian act have constantly reinvented themselves since forming in 2015 and the band's third full-length RUCKUS! sees the post-hardcore quartet taking their sound to expansive and sometimes unexpected places. Produced by longtime collaborator Will Yip (Circa Survive, Code Orange), the album fuses post-hardcore and punk influences with a healthy dose of pop songcraft to create an album that defies scene conventions in favor of something wholly unique. In order to accomplish this, the band made three extended trips to Yip's Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, to write and record the collection of songs that would end up as RUCKUS! "I truly don't believe that it could have been a more streamlined process and I don't think we've ever written music that's as good as what we put together for this record," Miranda explains. RUCKUS! sees the band integrating decidedly different influences such as Gorillaz and Strokes into their sound to challenge people's preconceptions.

Permafrost - new single 'Ultimo August'

Permafrost is a post-punk band, originally from Molde in Norway, which was formed in 1982 by school friends Frode Heggdal Larsen & Kåre Steinsbu. Robert Heggdal & Trond Tornes joined in 2001, and Daryl Bamonte in 2016. They take their name from a song by Magazine, and other influences are Joy Division, The Cure, Talking Heads, Pere Ubu, Fad Gadget, The Residents, Wire and Wolfgang Press. Trond Tornes left the band in 2022 to pursue other projects.

To date they have released the five critically acclaimed singles, 'Femme Fatale', 'Closed Eyes', 'Restore Us' and 'Come Back To Surprise', which all reached #1 on the Indie Disko Top40 chart (“Closed Eyes” for 6 consecutive weeks) as well as listing high on both the Deutsche Alternative and Native25 charts. They were added to numerous playlists including Apple Music’s 'New in Rock'. This year 'Wrong Heart' went top 5 in the ID Top40.

'Ultimo August' is the latest single from their forthcoming album 'The Light Coming Through', which will be released in Autumn 2024 on their own Fear of Music label.

Chase Rice Unveils Haunting Murder Ballad “Haw River” off Independent Album 'Go Down Singin’' Due Sept. 20

Celebrated by Billboard for “having storytelling details tumble from his lips, his portraits created quickly and efficiently,” Diamond-certified songwriter Chase Rice unveils his latest gripping narrative via today’s release of “Haw River,” offering fans a further glimpse into his highly anticipated independent album, Go Down Singin’, arriving Sept. 20. Pre-order/pre-save the album HERE and listen to “Haw River” Below
 
Inspired by a chance encounter during a writing retreat in Wilmington, N.C. with Blake Pendergrass – who also served as Rice’s writing partner on the recently released autobiographical title track – the haunting and evocative song showcases his ability to weave gripping narratives with a raw emotional core.
 
As Rice recalls of the chilling murder ballad’s origin, “We met a girl who said, ‘I’m Kayla from Haw River,’ and my ears just went up. Blake said, ‘We should make that a murder ballad…’ and we were off. Between the series 1923 about those priests beating up and raping Native American girls and our imaginations, it got pretty dark.”
 
With vivid lyrics and a stirring melody, “Haw River” tells the story of a preacher who exploits his power, only to face retribution at the hands of one of his victims, highlighting Rice’s continued evolution as a storyteller and his deep connection to the themes that resonate with him. The song joins a collection of songs that explore themes of growth, loss and redemption on Go Down Singin’, marking a significant moment in his musical journey as he bets on himself with the independent release. 
 
Go Down Singin’ is about where I am right now,” Rice shares of the Oscar Charles-produced project. “It’s about taking everything I’ve been through, all the mistakes and the lessons learned, and turning them into something meaningful. This album is the most honest I’ve ever been, and I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

About Chase Rice
With more than 2.6 million albums sold and over 2.8 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. With new releases “Fireside” and “Go Down Singin’” previewing his forthcoming independent album Go Down Singin’ (Sept. 20) as the follow-up to critically acclaimed album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life; from emotional reckoning to an admiration of the American West. The recent album, including standout tracks “Oklahoma” and “Bench Seat,” serves as a follow up to his three-part project, The Album, which featured his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and the Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are.”
 
This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, which featured the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and Double Platinum “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours, including the recent Get Western Tour in support of his new music, and he is currently serving as direct support on Dierks Bentley’s Gravel & Gold Tour.

Cheatham County Newcomer Preston James Releases Music Video for "Fences"

With his long hair, blonde scruff and dark eyes, southern rocker Preston James certainly looks the part. But it’s his soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics that will convince you he’s come a long way from the clean-cut kid who first plied the boards of Broadway nearly a decade ago. 

Since then, the Cheatham County native—who was offered his first publishing deal at 18—has announced himself to the Row, signing with publishers King Pen Music and Warner Chappell Music and inking a booking deal with The Neal Agency. 

Brian Carothers and Evan Kantor, both agents with The Neal Agency, are firmly in James’s corner. “Preston is sitting on an unbelievable debut EP,” Carothers says. “I’ll never forget the day he played it for everyone here. The excitement in the room was special, and we’re all thrilled to be working with him.” Adds Kantor, “From the moment we all heard the music, we were sold on Preston’s talent. What’s been even more exciting is seeing how incredible his live show is. We are honored to be a part of bringing that to the masses.”

James has steadily been making a name for himself as a singer, songwriter and guitar player at the local honky-tonks, resulting in the opportunity to open for the Brian Setzer Orchestra at the Ryman Auditorium; perform with one of his musical heroes, iconic blues and Americana artist Delbert McClinton; and sit in with the Grammy Award–winning Time Jumpers. He was also invited by John Berry to be a guest on his Songs and Stories television series. 

One listen to his latest single “Fences” [Listen Below], a melodic follow-up to his rowdy debut release, “Deal with the Devil,” proves James, 24, has found his footing as a performer. Clay Bradley, VP of Creative at BMI, the performance rights agency who represents James, is a longtime supporter. “I love Preston James. He is a natural born guitar picker, songwriter and a rising star in the industry who shows a maturity and insight far beyond his years.”

Written by James, Steve Moakler (“Riser”/Dierks Bentley) and Logan Wall (“Hard Days”/Brantley Gilbert), who also produced James’s forthcoming EP with distribution through CMDSHFT, “Fences” is a classic boy chases girl tale with cinematic lyrics:

James notes this one is extra special because it is autobiographical. “I first met Charity (Bowden), my fiancée, at age 15 and we became fast friends but reaching where we are now has been quite the journey.” It took some convincing and several years to become more than friends, and when the relationship evolved, Charity’s father had reservations about her dating a long-haired country singer. But, James explains, “I eventually realized what really mattered, persevered and overcame every fence in front of me because I knew without a doubt that she was the one.”

The music video for “Fences,” produced and directed by Jim Cook, Cookhouse Media, is being released today. Both “Fences” and “Deal with the Devil” are featured on White Trash from Way Back, James’s five-song EP set to debut Oct. 25. Next up off the EP is “Heartbreak’s on You,” due out Sept. 20. Each cut showcases James’s passion for storytelling as he moves effortlessly from small-town love song to hillbilly headbanger, narrating the vagaries of rural life.

Kelly King, president of King Pen Music, says, “As soon as I met Preston, I knew there was something special about him. His old soul way intrigued me, and his work ethic blew me away right off the bat. Once I saw him play live, I knew he was going to introduce a new edge to country music. I am so excited to see how country music embraces him the way he has embraced it all his life.”

Koe Wetzel Makes Late Night Debut: “High Road” on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Rolling Stone notes, “there’s an undeniable thrill” that comes with grunge-infused country rocker Koe Wetzel’s music, and with his first-ever single at Country radio, “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph already Top 40 on Billboard charts in just six weeks and two People’s Choice Country Award noms, his presence with new album 9 Lives is undeniable. After 8 years of building his touring base, the “ain't startin' my day until 2 a.m.-er” made his debut on late night, naturally.
